About

The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked
with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
We meet every month in Edinburgh
for presentations from members and guests, and a chat about Ruby and
related subjects. All are welcome, and there are no subscriptions or
costs involved.

Edinburgh

We meet in Edinburgh on the second Thursday of the month at 18:00
onwards. Meetings are held at CodeBase, in Argyle House on
Castle Terrace. Head to into the reception, and you’ll be
directed to the meeting.

You can browse and subscribe to the list using the
ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is
for announcements of activities and general Ruby support and
discussion; feel free to post any questions you may have.

Where and When?

You’ll know you’re in the right place as “CodeBase” is written across the glass doors.

When you arrive there will be someone in reception who can guide you to the right place. If you arrive late and no one is around contact us on Twitter: @scotrug, or send an email to the list. We’ll come and get you!

What?

Another year draws to a close. Natural light is now a fleeting thing, but the nights make up for it with decorations, subtle sparkles and gigantic spinning neon rides on Princes Street.

Come Christmas, the Ruby core team will deliver us a lovely present: a new Ruby release! If you’re counting, this year’s will be 2.6. So it’s probably worth having a look around the Ruby world at what’s happening. James will kick off the meet up with a few points on the current state of Ruby, from pulling the Standard Library into gems, to Sorbet’s type checking. Then we can talk about whatever we like! So, whether you are brand new to Ruby, or you have something you’re interested in exploring, come along and let’s have a chat.

CodeBase has water available from their kitchen, or feel free to bring your own drinks or snacks. We’re a friendly group of people, and you’re welcome along whether it’s your first time or one time of many. We look forward to seeing you there!
